Social media users are reeling and grieving after the death of 23-year-old Stasy Charles, a Black woman who was fatally stabbed during a brutal attack carried out by her boyfriend, Steven Heinrich Jr., on Nov. 13.
According to a Thursday press release from the Baton Rouge Police Department, officers were dispatched around 2:13 a.m. to the 12000 block of Old Hammond Highway following reports of a stabbing. When they arrived, they found Charles in a parking lot suffering from multiple “large” stab wounds. She was rushed to a nearby hospital but died during surgery.

During the early stages of the investigation, Baton Rouge officers also responded to a major car crash not far from the crime scene. Detectives later determined that the suspect, 28-year-old Steven Heinrich Jr., was responsible for both the stabbing and the collision. Preliminary findings indicate Heinrich went to Charles’s residence and rammed her vehicle with his own. He then dragged her from her car and stabbed her repeatedly before fleeing and intentionally driving into oncoming traffic, causing a head-on crash.
After the collision, Heinrich reportedly set himself on fire while still inside his vehicle. Responding officers extinguished the flames, and he was transported to a local hospital with life-threatening injuries. Authorities told WAFB that he died at the hospital on Friday, Nov. 14.
Baton Rouge authorities also confirmed that just days earlier, on Nov. 5, Charles had contacted police about a battery incident involving Heinrich. He was arrested for battery of a dating partner and released on a $2,500 bond within 24 hours. A protective order was served to him at that time. Detectives later discovered he had six additional protective orders from women in other states.
